Re: [LegacyUG] patronymic names

[Thomas Wildeboer]

I will look the residence name, but i don't understand why a programm like legacy don't handle the patronym correct in person-data and reports.

 

Unfortunately it is not correct, that all names ending with "son, sen"... are a patronym. Some families are using surnames together with patronyms. And under Napoleon families had to use a surname (which most times was their former patronym, but did not change in next generation). After Napoleon some of them starting again using the patronym.

 

It should be possible in legacy to "mark" a surname as patronym. Persons may also have a patronym and a surname. In reports the patronym should be userdefined formated (bold, italic,...). And in namelists the person should be listed (as option) under the patronym and under the surname.


 

Regards,

Thomas

The patronym IS the normal surname if you are researching those areas who have subscribed to that practice.  If a surname ends in a variation of "son, sen" or "datter, dotter" then you KNOW it was a patronym.  Anything else identifies a residence where they lived at some point in their life.  Those other names often changed within a person's lifetime.  So for example, if Ole Petersen lived in one place when he was baptized, but lived somewhere else when he was married and lived a third place when he died, he would have 3 different "residence names"  but he was still Ole Petersen.  The inclusion of the residence in a name was a means of separating individuals who also had the name of Ole Petersen.  In Legacy I use the AKA's to identify the residence name.  By the way, I have 27 direct line Ole Olsen's in my family tree and that residence name keeps them all unique individuals (along with the RIN that Legacy assigns them).

Hello,
 
my east-frisian (part of north germany) ancestors have patronymic names. In my old genealogy-programm i could enter the patronymic name in a special field. There I could search for patronymic names as surname, the persons are listed under the patronymic in surname list, in reports I can set a special format (italic or bold)  for the patronym, so I can see that it is nor a "normal" surname. That is important for the search of further ancestors, because the father has not the same patronym for surname as the child, from the patronym i only can get the fathers first name e. g. father of Harm Jansen has the first name Jan and the patronym of Jan could be Otten, Pieters, Harmsen
 
The patronym is not only used in northern germany, it is also used in netherlands, island and scandinavian countries. So I hope that Legacy can handle it correct.
 
Is there a special "control character" to mark a surname as patronym? How can I list persons under the patronym in surname lists? How can i format the patronym in reports and maybe also for screen-output/views?
For your answers and tipps I thank you in advance.

Thomas
